Ferrari F1 312B2 Dyno Video

This was a standard rebuild on an existing engine platform with no additional modiﬁ cations for power. The primary consideration was reliability and clean running. When we originally received this engine for rebuil (we have done it twice now over a period of years), it had broken the timing gears so we didn't have a baseline dyno run. After the ﬁ rst rebuild, it was run on a chas- sis dyno (our original DTS engine dyno couldn't handle the quick rpm changes) and produced 289 HP @ 9000 rpm. After the second rebuild (re-fresh), we ran it on our new Superﬂ ow Powermark dyno and saw a deﬁ nite improvement (365 HP @ 9,800). Most of the improvement was due to fuel curve tuning on the Lucas mechani- cal injection system and ignition optimiza- tion. While not the most powerful vintage F1 engine, it has been very reliable and smooth.

If this really was an F1 engine, see what Fulvio said. It was rebuilt TO LAST, probably destined for vintage/historic races and won't have to be rebuilt every few hours. Wise up, people.

The original specs state this engine was good for 480hp at 12,500 rpm. Wind that thing up!

You can multiply torque with a transmission you can't multiply HP.

That's alot drama for not much output, the torque is pathetic.

It was good for 480 bhp at 12,500 rpm in full race trim and sat in a car from 1971 that weighed only 560 kg and was probably considerably faster than you might think. This company is tuning this motor at a much lower RPM and output so that the owner can drive his 312B2 and have fun and not worry about his handbuilt, one of a kind, irreplaceable engine suddenly disintegrating into small chunks of super expensive debris while he does it :)

Kinda, but that doesn't really mean zip to the performance of a car, except for the first fraction of a second when the engine is at low revs when starting out in first gear.
